Tall Ship Morgenster Voyage: Den Helder to Fowey (28 April – 4 May 2026)

Step aboard the Tall Ship Morgenster for a one-of-a-kind sailing adventure across the North Sea and into the English Channel. From the historic Dutch port of Den Helder to the charming harbor of Fowey in Cornwall, this 7-day voyage offers you the perfect blend of adventure, teamwork, and sea-going serenity with a dash of salt and laughter on top.

A True Sailor’s Passage

This is a delivery voyage, which means we sail where the wind takes us. Depending on weather and progress, there may be a few stops along the way, or we might sail straight across the open sea under a canopy of stars. Either way, you’ll experience what real ocean sailing is all about: the rhythm of the waves, the creak of the rigging, and the satisfaction of working with wind and canvas to drive a square-rigged beauty forward.

You’re welcome to join the crew and take part in the watches, learn to set sails, and steer the ship under the guidance of our experienced crew. Or, if you’d rather sit back and simply enjoy the spectacle of the sails filling and the horizon unfolding, that’s perfectly fine too.

From the Lowlands to Cornwall’s Cliffs

Leaving Den Helder, we head westward across the North Sea, the same waters sailed by explorers and traders for centuries. As we make our way south along the English coast, you’ll get a taste of life at sea: bracing sea breezes by day, glowing sunsets over the waves, and perhaps even dolphins dancing alongside the bow.

When we finally sail into Fowey, the green hills of Cornwall rising around the harbor, you’ll step ashore with sea legs, stories, and friendships forged under sail.

Why Sail on the Morgenster?

Because she’s not just any ship, she’s a living piece of maritime heritage. With her tall masts, and billowing square sails, the Morgenster carries the spirit of the great sailing ships of old. Yet on board, the atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and full of laughter. No experience is needed All you need is curiosity and a taste for adventure.

Our international crew and fellow voyagers come from all walks of life. First-time sailors, seasoned adventurers, and dreamers who always wanted to cross the sea under sail. You’ll quickly become part of the Morgenster family, sharing meals, stories, and watch duties as the ship becomes your floating home.

Join the Crew, Places Are Limited

This voyage is open to anyone with a love of the sea and a sense of adventure. Because space on board is limited, berths tend to fill up quickly. So if the call of the ocean is tugging at your heart, don’t wait too long to answer.

Set your course for Cornwall, leave the shore behind, and discover the joy of real sailing aboard the Tall Ship Morgenster.
